All Warriors Are My Disciples

39. Throw yourself into this play

“I am deeply concerned that such a tragedy has occurred. Together….”

How many minutes is this? What kind of consolation are you doing for so long?

Suddenly annoyed, I stood up from my seat.

Fortunately, my seat was at the very back because Lily took action.

No one paid any attention to them because they were just mercenaries, not members of the church.

The attack on the chapel was decided to be concluded as a suicide attack by demon worshipers.

When their underground stronghold was attacked, they prepared to retaliate.

A form of bombing using the mana rift effect.

The main content was that they used their bodies as the source.

To be exact, the key figures among those demon worshipers.

It was a crime committed by the so-called Mine, but it’s too early to publicize it.

Based on my judgment, Lily decided to finish like that for now.

“Is this okay?”

Iris asks cautiously, where did you come after me?

The story of the demons discusses a suicide attack that is not even left out.

People have no choice but to believe when the church and the saintess say that, not anywhere else.

No matter how well-intentioned a lie is, a lie is a lie.

Iris seemed to think so.

“Originally not. Don’t be But not now. Now, I can’t help it.”

The world is always a place that can be manipulated by fear and fear.

Even though the saintess is openly in this city, there are people who are afraid enough to attack.

Even if such information spreads, demon worshipers will be very excited and active.

In that case, I would rather instill anger in the general public.

Demon worshipers use my body like a bomb.

And one day it will burn you, your family and friends, your property and your house.

It was better to use it this way.

“I don’t like using fear.”

“Because this is the way that works best. It’s the way demon worshipers like to use it.”

“You mean we have to do that now too? That’s not it, Master.”

“….”

Iris’s voice was more of a pity than an accusation.

But rather, those parts were heard as sharp criticism.

Those who should detest demon worshipers the most use the same method as them.

It’s not about leading them to the right path with hope and light.

Use fear, fear, and anger to control the way.

About the cultists who have been drinking so far, and the vicious methods they use.

For Iris, who taught me to listen, learn, and erase them.

I think it’s probably a difficult look to accept.

“It’s not that I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m thinking it’s not right either.”

“Then it’s not like that. Could there be a better way?”

“If not. What if this is for the best? Are you still going to choose the less-than-best?”

“That….”

“Let’s say I’m being honest with you. Those who attacked even though there was a saintess. It wasn’t just a suicide attack, just to be as it should be. A demon who appeared to kill the saintess. She is strong enough to intimidate the warriors. I almost got into trouble. Like this. So, how will people react here? Should I show more hostility? Or are you afraid?”

Of course I think it’s the latter.

For the people here, even passing monsters are feared.

How much more so, how great are those feelings for diabolical beings like monsters?

From noble mtl dot com

Demon worshipers use just that.

The way to survive the fear you can never escape is not to overcome the fear.

To be with the very existence that gives you fear, and to be protected by them.

From a monster’s point of view, there’s nothing more absurd than that.

They just want to kill and destroy them all.

Things that are not of this world by game standards.

Of course, he will stick to his instincts regardless of whether the world praises him or not.

But it has nothing to do with demon worshipers.

I just believe it’s best to end the world completely and move on to death together.

“People will definitely be afraid. I believe in the warriors at best. I believe that as long as there are heroes, this world will be safe someday. Because that’s not the case anymore An enemy that can threaten even the hero has appeared, but you would think that death would come before salvation. And eventually you will succumb to that fear and get lost in nonsense.”

“….”

“The number of enemies increases, but there are no reliable allies, Iris. This is why I lean on you guys. This fight is going to be a very lonely and long fight.”

I also searched the world to see if there was something I had missed.

Besides the characters I fostered, there were definitely other characters.

I didn’t pick it up, but other users definitely picked it up and nurtured it!

However, no matter how much I searched the world, that was the end of the hero.

The characters I didn’t develop didn’t exist at all.

It was then that I was able to intuit.

This world, this country, is made up of users.

“Master.”

Iris sneaks up next to her.

Then he takes my hand very slowly and brings it to my face.

“Master, from Garam to me. We know very well that you have given us grace that we cannot repay even if we die. I can feel it just by looking at other people’s faces. Just as he did for me, Master must have been like a benefactor or parent to them. You can follow whatever Master tells you to do. Because this life was saved by Master in the first place.”

“….”

“Teacher will do so without wavering, and if you say so, I can follow everything.”

A very serious voice and eyes.

I wonder if Iris Future Walker is the stupid student I used to know.

What should I say? It feels like someone else is sitting in it.

“However, I am worried about that.”

“… What are you worried about?”

“Master himself, is there something hesitating inside? I wonder if there are other ways, but you insist on only one and try to avoid it.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. You stupid disciple.”

“Yes, I am an idiot. So only one can understand. To become a warrior to save this world. I only understood that one thing. It doesn’t make sense to use fear, terror, and incitement, just like the drunken worshipers.”

“Iris. That….”

“It could be because I’m stupid, because I’m stupid, because I only know one thing. But… I don’t want to see even Master look like them. You are the master of warriors. The warriors are your disciples.”

“….”

This, no matter how you look at it, is not Iris.

It’s not something he’s going to say, it’s not the atmosphere he’s going to show off, anyway.

The feeling of wanting to grab your shoulder and ask who you are became desperate.

But what prevented that was, as Iris said, the ‘doubt’ I had.

Can I really do this? Can we just grow animosity towards the drunken worshipers?

If you think about it, what my disciples and I are dealing with now is hostility towards this world.

In the game, the characters didn’t fight like this.

The warriors continued to scatter hope, trying to lead them to the light somehow.

They wanted to become hope and did goodwill and duty without cost.

The characters in the game each shouted the names of the warriors they believed in.

I praised them, regarded them as light, and considered them the only hope.

Rather than using fear or fear of demon worshipers or monsters.

They always thought of the warriors in front of them, gaining courage and living their lives.

“… Iris.”

“Yes, Master.”

“You can talk to me again later.”

“… You can do it now.”

“It’s not like right now. From now on, I think I will be a bit busy.”

To be honest, I was thinking about the fragments of the Demon God earlier.

There was one part that I had doubts about.

He definitely saw me, and he could have put up a fight.

But he quickly retreated, taking only the twins and the demons.

As if he thought he might get into a lot of trouble if he got into a fight.

I can’t put any effective hits on the demon fragments.

No matter what he says to me, I can’t do anything.

Nevertheless, he made the decision to retreat quickly.

What is the reason? Why did you make that decision?

The conclusion was drawn faster than expected.

– You don’t know. –

I know that I can’t damage the demon fragments.

Why? Because I’ve played this game too many times.

I know the settings. Because I know that a character who can catch a fragment of a demon is a hero.

I’m just an outsider, not a hero to protect this world!

But the fragments of the Demon God don’t know that.

He might think I’m a hero. No, definitely will.

If you thought you couldn’t handle me with the injured twin and yourself.

If you came to that conclusion, it would explain why you ran away right away.

“I don’t know if it’s wise to listen to you, stupid disciple. Come to think of it, I don’t think this would be too bad. So….”

So, I’m going to try it once.

Now, Lily will officially announce the church’s position.

Strongly condemning the suicide attack by demon worshipers that did not even exist.

I’m going to try to draw out the anger of the common people against them.

Tabaktabak-.

As soon as Lily climbed onto the podium, I sent energy that only she could feel.

Fortunately, it reached him before he opened his mouth, and Lily looked exactly where I was standing.

“….”

Shake your head.

From noble mtl dot com

Don’t do that. Instead, let’s do it.

Then, Lily’s expression hardened slightly.

I smiled slightly as if he were asking if he was serious.

I meant that it wouldn’t be bad to do this.

“Everyone.”

In the end, Lily nodded her head as if to agree and opened her mouth.

“The entity that caused this incident is a demon worshiper, but it is different from the people you know.”

“Among those evil groups, those who can be said to be the core force. It is also called Mine.”

“I am very sorry to have to say this, but they are strong. If their mission was successful. Maybe I wouldn’t have been able to face you like this today.”

“They are strong. Maybe even as strong as the warriors.”

Sudden words startle many members of the church.

But it couldn’t have been more surprising than the general public.

After all, the saintess is also a member of the hero, but that’s why the hero is saying that.

A murmur grows among the people.

From the mouth of the warrior came words that amplified anxiety, not words that assured victory.

Of course I thought the warriors would win, but that’s not it?

Then who should I trust? Do you really die when the warriors fall?

Such turmoil was conveyed intact.

“There is someone I would like to introduce to you.”

Lily steps back slightly.

Now that the preparations are complete, it means that all you have to do is choose.

Take your steps slowly.

Until now, I was just an outsider who came in from the outside.

I thought it would be enough just to play the role of a helper.

Anyway, I thought this road would be a little more certain than that.

To jump directly into this stage.

To throw one’s body into this play.

Maybe that would be the surest way.

Climb up the podium.

Lily stepped further back and bowed her head on her knees.

It is a very embarrassing and embarrassing situation, but this will be the best smokescreen.

“Meet the Master.”
